Malaysia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper attempts to discuss the distribution based on the concept of asnaf al-Riqab. This paper is also performed to see the definition of al-Riqab based on the interpretation of contemporary or classical mufassir. This is because asnaf al-Riqab is among the asnaf which often became the debate of the scholars because of the ambiguity of his position. There are groups who distribute and there are also who do not distribute zakat to this asnaf. The purpose of the paperwork is divided into two. First, identify the concept of distribution of zakah to al-Riqab. Second, analyzing the views of classical and contemporary mufassir in interpreting the term al-Riqab based on verse 60, surah al-Taubah. The data in this study were collected through a document study and then analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings show that contemporary interpretations are widely used in zakat institutions in Malaysia rather than classical interpretations. Although slavery is virtually absent from the classical interpretation, contemporary mufassir views expand the distribution according to current circumstances. Classical and contemporary distribution will be a guide to distributing zakah al-Riqab. Keywords: Fatwa, Distribution, Al-Riqab, Mufassir. INTRODUCTION In surah al-Taubah, verse 60, Allah SWT placed the rank of asnaf al-Riqab in fifth position. This order is based on asnaf entitled to receive zakat starting with faqir, poor, amil, mualaf, al-Riqab, al- Gharimin, fi sabilillah and ibn al-sabil. According to IbnKathir (1999: 150/2), the distribution of zakat should be given to eight groups as set out in surah al-Taubah, verse 60. The Arabs in the jahiliyyah era made the slave a merchandise or exchange for a dowry or gift for their offspring ( Nasution, 2015: 97). However, the presence of Islam has wiped out the system of slavery created during the jahiliyyah period. According to Sabiq (2003: 132), al-Riqab, if viewed in 959 International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences Vol. 8 , No. 11, Nov, 2018, E-ISSN: 2222-6990 © 2018 HRMARS terms of general definition, means 'makatab' which is the servant who has been redeemed or purchased to be freed from his master gradually. According to Ridha (1999: 598), al-Riqab is one of the groups who want to escape from slavery or occupation and fight for independence. Furthermore, al-Qaradawi (2011: 416) argues that al-Riqab is a bonded servant or bondage that binds one's liberty. Based on observations, there are differences in the definition of al-Riqab among scholars'. However, this distinction is not significant, which is still meaningful to slave or liberation. Thus, the issue of distribution of zakat to al-Riqab is nowadays. This is due to the inconsistency of zakat institutions in Malaysia. Therefore, a systematic study should be carried out to see the definition of asnaf al-Riqab based on the views of the mufassir. As such, this paper attempts at least to explain in general the distribution of zakat to Bibliography based on the critical analysis of the views of the taxpayer based on their definitions. METHODOLOGY This study uses a method of documentation to obtain a clear overview of asnaf al-Riqab and the method of distribution of zakat to al-Riqab based on the critical analysis of the views of the mufassir. To obtain information related to the concept of al-Riqab, the definition of asnaf al-Riqab is taken on the basis of classical and contemporary mufassir views and interpret the 'fi' and 'lam' word based on the surah al-Taubah to be examined. According to Jasmi (2012), this document analysis method is used to obtain clear information in understanding the concepts, issues and problems of a phenomenon occurring. Subsequently, the result of the data collection will be analyzed using the content analysis method. Content analysis is used to examine and explain the interpretation contained in the document. According to Yusof (2004: 34), analyzing content is a research technique by making systematic and objective conclusions through documented data. While Marican (2005: 170) and Lebar (2009: 146) define content analysis as an explanation systematically researching textual expressions. This corresponds to the data collected from the related documents of asnaf al-Riqab which analyzed the views of classical and contemporary mufassir in defining al-Riqab. Among the works of the mufassirs used are Tafsir of al- Qurtubi, Tafsir of Ibn kathir, the Tafsir of al-Tabari and the interpretation of al-Razi which represents the classic main interpretation used first. Meanwhile, tafsir al-Azhar and contemporary tafsir al- Manar are widely used today's interpretation. 960 International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences Vol. 8 , No. 11, Nov, 2018, E-ISSN: 2222-6990 © 2018 HRMARS FINDINGS STUDY This study divides the discussion into al-Riqab concept based on the mufassir. The concept of al-Riqab is based on the mufassir a) Definition of al-Riqab The word al-Riqab is plural, his sole name is 'raqabah'. According to the etymological point of view the neck, the end of the head or body part. While the terminology 'raqabah' means the slave possessed (al-Razi, 1999: 86; al-Zamakhsyari, 1986: 283). Based on the study of researchers there is no specific interpretation of the definition of al-Riqab from both sides of the language or terminology. The definition of asnaf al-Riqab based on classic and contemporary mufasir experts There are some views expressed by classical mufassirs. This paper explains the views of Ibn Kathir, al- Qurtubi, al-Tabari and al-Razi. According to al-Qurtubi (1946: 182 & 183), slaves freed from the colony are slaves 'mukatab', not real slaves. The servant of 'mukatab' means the servant who made an agreement with his master to pay a gradual release as a liberation from slavery. Therefore, the zakat or zakat payer may use zakat for asnaf al-Riqab to liberate 'mukatab' slaves from slavery. IbnKathir (1999: 168), as quoted by Ibn Abbas and Hasan, stated that the slave deserved the share of zakat. In other words, the slave in general from the perspective of the term means, is not the slave of the 'mukatab' alone, even the whole. Zakah property can be freed to free slave. Besides, al-Tabari (2011: 186) states that slaves are individuals who want to redeem themselves from the slavery of their master. Allah SWT makes zakat as a mandatory obligation to withdraw from the property. This is because liberating slaves from slavery benefits from liberating from slavery and restoring human nature born with freedom. Furthermore, al-Razi (1999) defines asnaf al-Riqab as a Muslim slave who pays gradually to his master to redeem himself. This is because the property they own is not enough to live despite hard work. Therefore, the distribution of zakat is granted or purchased from his master to free himself from the bondage. This view is based on opinion in madhhab Shafi'i . In conclusion, the difference views of the classic mufassir on the definition that shows the summary of classical scholars' ijtihad related to the definition of al-Riqab. Al-Qurtubi (1946: 182-183), al-Tabari (2011: 186) and al-Razi (1999), ijtihad al-Riqab means the 'mukatab' slave or slave servant. While the opinion of IbnKathir (1999: 168), the definition of al-Riqab began to be expanded with not merely slaves, even slaves. But the definition of al-Riqab which is cited in the view of the mufassir based on slaves, because in those times, slaves had not been completely abolished. In addition to classic views, this paper also explains the definition of al-Riqab through contemporary interpretations. According to HAMKA (1984), religious councils are still using a system of slavery, in which the share of zakat is allocated to 'mukatab' slaves.

  • The Concept of Jihad in Islam
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 9, Ver. 7 (Sep. 2016) PP 35-42 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Concept of Jihad In Islam Ramlan TengkuErwinsyahbana Nurul Hakim Abstract.:-It is an undisputable fact that jihad is an Islamic teaching that is explicitly mentioned in Quran, Hadith, ijma'as well as various fiqh literature from classical time to the contemporary time. Jihad term often used for things that are destructive by western scholars and society. For them, jihad is synonymous with terrorism. The similarization of the word Jihad with the word terrorism in the Western perception is strongly reinforced by a series of terror committed by Muslims in the name of jihad. These acts have been increasingly affecting the interpretation of the word jihad in a negative way although in reality that is not the case in a contemporary context. Jihad in contemporary understanding is not just a war against visible enemies but also a war against the devil and carnality. Even a war against visible enemies that are written in classical fiqh books has now replaced by a contemporary interpretation of jihad against the enemies, as was done by Dr. ZakirNaik. KEYWORDS:Concept, Jihad and Islam I. INTRODUCTION When the 9/11 attack hit the United States more than a decade ago, the term jihad became a trending topic worldwide. The US and other Western countries in general claim that the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack were following the doctrine of Jihad in Islam in order to fight against America and its allies around the world.

  • Bab Iii Pemikiran Asghar Ali Engineer Dan Riffat Hasan
    44 BAB III PEMIKIRAN ASGHAR ALI ENGINEER DAN RIFFAT HASAN TENTANG PEMBEBASAN PEREMPUAN A. Pemikiran Asgar Ali Engineer Tentang Pembebasan Perempuan 1. Biografi dan Karya Anak benua India yang senantiasa bergejolak itu telah melahirkan seorang feminis laki-laki berpengaruh abad ini. Sejauh pengetahuan penulis, sampai dengan penelitian ini ditulis, belum ada satu karya pun yang mengungkapkan biografi Asghar Ali Engineer secara kritis dan lengkap, baik dalam bentuk buku, artikel maupun dalam bentuk tulisan yang lain. Yang penulis ketahui, Asghar Ali Engineer dilahirkan dalam lingkungan keluarga ulama ortodoks Bohro52 pada tanggal 10 Maret 1939 di Sulumber, Rajastan (dekat Udaipur) India. 52 Bohro (Daudi Bohro) adalah sebuah sekte pedagang muslim yang berasal dari Gujarat Mereka merupakan komunitas muslim yang berafiliasi kepada Syiah Ismailiyah Untuk memberikan gambaran tentang komunitas Daudi Bohro, perlu disimak pendapat dari Djohan Effendi. Djohan Effendi menulis: “Para pengikut Daudi Bohro dipimpin oleh Imam sebagai pengganti Nabi yang dijuluki Amiru‟l Mukminin. Mereka mengenal 21 orang imam-imam mereka yang terakhir bernama Maulana Abu „I-Qasim al-Thayyib yang menghilang pada tahun 526 H. Akan tetapi mereka masih percaya bahwa ia masih hidup hingga sekarang. Kepemimpinannya dilanjutkan oleh para da‟i (dari perkataan itu berasal ungkapan Daudi) yang selalu berhubungan dengan imam yang terakhir itu. Untuk diakui sebagai orang da‟i tidaklah mudah. Ia harus mempunyai 94 kualifikasi yang ringkas dalam 4 kelompok (1) Kualifikasi-kualifikasi pendidikan; (2) Kualifikasi-kualifikasi administratif; (3) Kualifikasi-kualifikasi moral dan teoritikal, dan (4) Kualifikasikualifikasi keluarga dan kedudukan dan kepribadian. Yang menarik adalah bahwa diantara kualifikasi itu seorang da‟i harus tampil sebagai pembela umat yang tertindas dan berjuang melawan kedzaliman.

    Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 27 (1): 419 - 424 (2019) SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Journal homepage: http://www.pertanika.upm.edu.my/ The Meaning of Jihad: Textual and Contextual Interpretations Sri Mulyati Department of Islamic Sufism, Faculty of Theology, Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah, 15412, Jakarta, Indonesia ABSTRACT Belief in Jihad (holy war) is key for a believer of Islam in the social theological sphere, where faith and jihad are not separated. Discussions among theologians and religious experts on the meaning of jihad and the thoughts they put forth have undergone changes and have developed over time. Concrete political situations have also affected views and opinions toward jihad and have, eventually, led to pragmatism and realism among ulamas and Islamic thinkers in their understanding of jihad. This paper attempts to explore the meaning and concept of jihad in Islam via textual and contextual interpretations. The writer’s own research has yielded that jihad has wide meaning and is not limited to war alone because Allah had ordained Muslims not only to take up arms, but also to believe in holy war in terms of its existential meaning (which refers to the fight against lust) in the quest to defend Islam. This paper discusses the objectives of jihad in Islam as a way to glorify the name of Allah and to fight against cruelty and unfairness on God’s earth. Keywords: Contextual interpretation, faith, jihad, Qur’an, textual interpretation INTRODUCTION ARTICLE INFO The paper aims to deliberate both on the textual and on the contextual meaning of Article history: Received: 5 October 2018 the term jihad.

The fight against drug abuse involves not only efforts in putting an end to its trafficking but also the rehabilitation of those who suffer from drug addiction. In order to rehabilitee the drug addicts; there are government agencies that have been organized to handle it. In addition there are also private drug rehabilitation centers run by non-governmental organizations. Unfortunately, these centers often face the problem of shortage of funds for rehabilitation activities. As most drug addicts are the Muslims and most of the private drug rehabilitation centers are run by Muslims, this study attempts to find out whether in case where these centers faced financial problems in carrying out their activities, can they be helped through zakah fund or not? This paper reviews the argument forwarded by Muslim scholars in interpreting the meanings of zakah beneficiaries and try to find the similarity between drug addicts with several types of zakah beneficiaries. It also try to find out ways where drug rehabilitation centers can gain a portion from this fund in order to support their activities.

  • Khusnul Fikriyah : Comparison of the Views of Classical Fiqh Ulama …. 35
    ZISWAF : Jurnal Zakat dan Wakaf Volume 8 Number 1 Year 2021 E-ISSN 2654-8569, P-ISSN 2654-8577 Page 34 - 43 Comparison the Views of Classical and Contemporary Fiqh Ulama on the Use of Zakat Maal for the Development of Educational and Da'wah Institutions Khusnul Fikriyah1 1 Fakultas Ekonomika dan Bisnis, Universitas Negeri Surabaya Abstract: Nowadays, zakat paid by muzakki is channeled through an educational empowerment model, including scholarships for poor children. In addition to scholarships, the empowerment model also improved, zakat funds are also used for the development of Educational and Da'wah Institutions, including for schools, campuses, dormitories, and mosques. In At-Taubah 60, there is no mention of the Board of Education and Da'wah included in the asnaf who are entitled to receive zakat. Thus, the question arises as to how the legal position of the use of zakat funds for the benefit of the development of educational institutions and da'wah, whether the law is allowed according to sharia or not. This study used a qualitative library research method. The conclusion of this article states that zakat funds are allowed for the construction of educational and da’wah institutions, by using the reason for :in At-Taubah (في سبيل هللا) the "generality of interpretation" of the word sabilillah 60 as one of the parties entitled to receive zakat. If the zakat funds for asnaf sabilillah still use the classical meaning, which means only for war, then the scope will be very narrow. In addition, at this time, jihad, which means war on the battlefield no longer exists, because it is considered a violation of human rights, and even if this kind of war is still being financed by the state.

Discussing this phrase, Syaltut uses the maudhu'i interpretation method which is implemented in many of his works. By using the library research method, data related to Syaltut thought is collected and analyzed. From these data, the concept of sabilillah in view of Syaltut includes universal values of life established by Islamic law: goodness, justice, cooperation and compassion; and sabilillah is how to realize the objectives of Islamic law itself.

PENDAHULUAN Firman Allah s.w.t dalam surah al-Taubah ayat 60 yang bermaksud: “Sesungguhnya sadaqah (zakat) itu hanya tertentu untuk orang fakir, miskin, para ‘amil yang mengurus zakat, orang mu’allaf yang dijinakkan hatinya, hamba-hamba yang hendak memerdekakan dirinya, dan untuk orang-orang yang berhutang, orang yang berjuang pada jalan Allah, dan untuk orang musafir (yang kehabisan bekalan) dalam perjalanan.

Asnaf yang disebut dalam ayat di atas ialah golongan fakir dan miskin, ‘amil atau orang yang dilantik oleh pihak berkuasa untuk menjalankan kutipan dan agihan zakat, al-muallafati qulubuhum - orang yang hatinya dekat dengan Islam tetapi masih dalam keadaan Iman yang lemah, al-riqab – hamba yang diberi peluang untuk menebus diri tetapi tidak mampu, al-gharimun – orang yang terikat dengan hutang, fisabilillah – orang-orang yang berjuang di jalan Allah s.w.t dan Ibn Sabil iaitu orang yang terputus bekalan atau memulakan perjalanan dalam usaha mentaati Allah dan bukan untuk tujuan maksiat. Kertas kerja ini hanya akan memfokuskan perbincangan kepada asnaf fisabilillah.
